Fighting in Court.

BUTTE, July 27.-This afternoon there
occurred in the police court an incident
that deserves mention. An exceptional
case of assault and battery was being tried
with a jury, and there was an array OF
counsel and host of witnesses, when sud-
denly there came the cry Of fight, accom-
panied with noises which indicated = COM
bat. At once court, counsel, jury, wit
ne ses and spectators made rush for the
rear OF the courtroom and there in close
combat they beheld Constable Gilbert
Engel and John Bordeaux, gentleman
who makes a living by diseounting city or
county warrants at ten per cent Both are
small men and neither have enjoyed a
reputation .of being pugnaceous, SO the
crowd looked on in amazement and for .
moment encouraged each OF the combat
ants. The appearance of Judge Hamil
ton put an end to hostilities, and when
quiet was restored, he (the judge) sum-
moned the offenders and fined each $40
for contempt OF court. Later charge Of
assault was preferred against Bordeaux
and he was fined $40 on that charge.

Cattle Will Paw.

The raising and feeding Of good cattle,
on the contrary, while at times attended
by narrow margins when the movement
and value Of all food products are disturb
ed, is a business which one year with
another is certain to pay largely and much
more literally than any other branch Of
farm industry, and we predic that the in
terests will emerge from this transient de-
preston even more strongly intrenched
In public favor than before. There is no
one seeking to get rid Of good cattle, but,
On the contrary, there are thousands Of
prudent farmers who are taking advantage
Of present opportunities to fit themselves
out with better animals than they have
heretofore owned.-BSetder's Gazette.

but will push out to make active contest
for the traffic of other portions of the ter
ritory The Montana Union is not con-
Quoted in n manner satisfactory To the
Union Pacific and is rapidly becoming in
such condition that something must be
done TO put it in repair. Neither the
Northern nor the Union are doing any
thing in this direction. The Northern
Pacific is building an independent line to
Butte as rapidly as possible and the con
clusion is that the Union Pacific intends
to retaliate by building an Independent
broad gauge road to Helena, Bozeman and
other points on the Northern Pacific to
make active competition in traffic. This
is the drift of talk in railroad circles and
it is liable to take definite shape at any
time.

THE LAST DRIVE.
S,ockmen Believe that Cattle Driving
Northward Will Soon Have to
be Abandoned.

DENVER, Col, July Is Cattlemen who
now have their herds going north on the
great cattle trail have decided upon move
which will prove sensational news to cat
tiemen throughout the west. It is an
agreement among the owners to face-abort
the $4,000 head now on the trail and drive
them back into Texas. The reason for so
doing is because there is absolutely no
market for the cattle, and to turn the
herds back is the only solution to the diff
fculty into which the cattle owners find
themselves involved. .,=
The meeting at which this conclusion
war arrived at was held in the rooms of
the Cattle growers association.
This action is most important one, in
asmuch AS it practically removes from ey-
istence forever the long-used cattle trail
for the transportation of cattle. Such a
decision, fraught with such vital results.
was only made after it became apparent
that no remedy could be depended upon
The cause of the trouble lies principally
in the exaggerated nature of the lnforma-
ton affecting the stock market. After the
herds had started the fact became known
that Wyoming wanted nc cattle whatever,
aud besides was hostile, owing to the ru-
mored existence of Texas fever. Colorado
had sufficient number tosupplv her own
demand. whilst Montana and Dakota in
stead of famishing for beef. had plenty OF
steers Of their own raising.
In future cattle will be transported
north by rail- In previous years the great
cattle trail was as broad as cattlemen de-
sired to make it. Gradually it was en-
croached upon by settlers until the cattle
men found themselves compelled to fol-
low certain beaten path. Last year the
secretary of the interior designated a strip
three mileswide, extending from north to
south on the line Of eastern Colorado as
the limits of tie trail.
About six years ago this order was
countermanded and the strip thrown open
to settlers In fact, il was pretty well
settled up before the last order, and the
cattlemen found themselves almost COM
pletely shut out At all points along the
trail they were met with obstacles. They
were compelled to pay ransom for grass
eaten, and frequently had to make detours
to avoid settlements. This added greatly
to the expense of the drive, and did more,
perhaps, than any other thing to cause
cattlemen to abandon the trail.
